So meanwhile i know i need the unmarked/unsigned https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer/releases/tag/v1.1.3
What mean "re-run" - its not executable so i think it should be "flashed" with luci... but in "recovery" or normal openwrt?

I booted into recovery (by holding the reset button for a count of 5 while powering on) and then ssh'd to the recovery system and sysupgrade'd (which writes to the fit ubi volume) to the installer.

[fda]

Normaly i enter recovery by "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" which is much faster than hold reset, which tries TFTP for a long time:

Recovery is OpenWrt 22.03.3 r20028-43d71ad93e - Kernel 5.10.161, accessibly by ssh and http

Now i put https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer/releases/download/v1.1.3/openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery-installer.itb to /tmp and then sysupgrade -v -n -F openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery-installer.itb

And again: no network (ping etc)! I have again to recover by serial By serial, ifconfig shows only "lo", nothing else.
Seems im to silly to "rerun the installer"

Looks like the installer script [1] inside [2] is exiting at some point without fully formatting the NAND storage into FIP-in-UBI setup.

Can you please post the outputs of following commands

cat /proc/mtd

and

ubinfo -a

?

Based on the exit 1 and return 1 statements in the installer script [1], I think the script is unable to find the FACTORY data on the NAND device and hence exits. This can happen if the device is already formatted to FIP-in-UBI setup. EDIT: Just went through the Recovery log you attached. As I suspected, the script is exiting due to "factory partition not found on raw flash offset".

In my case, since I had already run the v1.1.0 installer in my RT3200's, I could not use the v1.1.3 installer to update BL2, FIP and RECOVERY. Hence I created my own custom installer script [3] based on the @daniel installer script [1] to update my RT3200.

NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT. Make sure you have a backup of FACTORY data before running either @daniel's installer [2] or my installer script [3].

In the pre FIP-in-UBI layout, FACTORY data is stored in mtd2 (entire partition). In FIP-in-UBI layout, FACTORY data is stored in ubi0_1 (entire UBI volume) inside mtd1 (partition).

Anyone know if this supports TRGMII? Would be a nice performance boost.

Seems i'm missing " boot_backup" too

I have a 3 year old archive file called "ubi0_3--boot_backup" with 3
files:
mtd0 512kb (Mediatek bootloader)
mtd1 1280kb (/sys/fs/pstore)
mtd2 1024 kb (no strings/binwalk results)

is the file mtd2 the factory.bin for the script?

Am i right to execute the script in "recovery"? Because of "kmod-mtd-rw_6.6.47..." i dont think its the 1.1.3 recovery..
But how should it upload the files with such a new kernel? I dont have network connectivity with it ^^

This is pre FIP-in-UBI layout (i.e. pre Installer v1.1.0 layout).

@fda

mtd2 1024 kb (no strings/binwalk results)

Yes, this is most likely your FACTORY data. My FACTORY dump is also 1 MiB. Just to be certain, check that your mtd2 looks something like below image (FACTORY dump from one of my RT3200) when opened using any HEX Viewer or Editor.

In the image, the 2.4 GHz WiFi MAC address of the RT3200 is E8:9F:80:E7:31:21 . You can see this MAC address directly as HEX bytes in the image.

I have built a initramfs-recovery.itb which includes kmod-mtd-rw. If you want to use my script in Belkin RT3200/Linksys E8450 WiFi AX discussion - #5915 by ka2107, you need to copy kmod-mtd-rw (my script assumes kmod-mtd-rw is not installed already), BL2 (preloader), BL31 (FIP), FACTORY (your mtd2 as /tmp/factory.bin), RECOVERY (initramfs-recovery.itb, NOT the installer.itb) to /tmp while booted inside iniramfs-recovery.itb and then run my script.

All the files are at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/5tp96inie6jcjh3ruuy0c/ANxuYACy1WmgKMaUM8PqGNc?rlkey=808hmf8p8vdep3yqhrxlwkwxd&st=vgjblsr0&dl=0 .

kmod-mtd-rw inside kmods folder, copied to /tmp (no change in filename).
bl2 inside bl2_preloader_NAND folder, copied to /tmp (no change in filename).
bl31 (FIP) inside bl31_fip folder, copied to /tmp (no change in filename).
factory is your mtd2 dump copied to /tmp/factory.bin .
initramfs-recovery inside initramfs-recovery folder copied to /tmp (no change in filename).

My installer script is 2024-08-25_RT3200_FIP-in-UBI_formatter.sh. Copy it to /tmp and rename as you wish Make it executable (chmod +x) and then execute.

EDIT: Actually before you proceed, backup the CURRENT mtd2 (factory) from your device. Not sure if that contains the actual FACTORY data or not.

@fda

But how should it upload the files with such a new kernel? I dont have network connectivity with it

1. Use sysupgrade to load the initramfs-recovery.itb (NOT the installer.itb).
2. Once initramfs-recovery has booted, copy the files to /tmp using SCP.
3. Copy the script to /tmp, make it executable and then execute the script.
4. After the script completes execution and you confirm everything has been flashed successfully, reboot the device.
5. After reboot, you should now be inside initramfs-recovery that was flashed to the NAND storage by the script.
6. From inside the initramfs-recovery (flashed to NAND), copy the normal OpenWrt MAIN SNAPSHOT image to /tmp using SCP and sysupgrade normally.
7. After reboot due to sysupgrade, now you should be inside normal OpenWrt SNAPSHOT image.

If i use a recovery with kernel 6.6 (installer 1.1.3) then is there no network interface except "lo"! (see logs above with updating recovery from recovery and final "ifconfig")
If i use a recovery (or normal openwrt) 23.05.4 then everything is okay!

mtd2/FACTORY: Mine looks same, first 0x400 = 1024dec bytes are used and then only FF. The numbers visible are the MACs?

imho the non-existent factory for "new" openwrt and then missing MAC causes missing network interfaces...

Maybe i should try to base64 encode and send by serial

Use sysupgrade to load the initramfs-recovery.itb (NOT the installer.itb).

@fda

If i use a recovery with kernel 6.6 (installer 1.1.3) then is there no network interface except "lo"! (see logs above with updating recovery from recovery and final "ifconfig")

Not sure if something has changed in kernel 6.6 or OpenWrt MAIN branch that makes it not setup the network interfaces.

EDIT: Oh, I think because FACTORY data has moved to inside UBI in the FIP-in-UBI setup, the MAIN SNAPSHOT initramfs-recovery.itb is expecting FACTORY data inside the UBI volume which is not there in your setup. The question is, if the FACTORY data is still intact in mtd2, why is the @daniel Installer complaining about FACTORY data and exiting the script?

@fda

If i use a recovery (or normal openwrt) 23.05.4 then everything is okay!

I suggest these steps (based on https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer/blob/4763f2e6e5fb2220b68b7d7bd8532920050c51bc/files/installer/install.sh):

1. Sysupgrade 23.05.4 initramfs-recovery.itb https://archive.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.4/targets/mediatek/mt7622/openwrt-23.05.4-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery.itb . NOTE this image does not contain LuCi interface. After sysupgrade VERIFY that you have working ethernet connection from PC to RT3200 before proceeding to next step.

2. Copy https://archive.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.4/targets/mediatek/mt7622/packages/kmod-mtd-rw_5.15.162+git-20160214-2_aarch64_cortex-a53.ipk to /tmp using SCP and install using opkg.

opkg install /tmp/kmod-mtd-rw_5.15.162+git-20160214-2_aarch64_cortex-a53.ipk

3. Load the mtd-rw kmod

insmod mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1

4. Copy BL2 v2.4 from https://archive.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.7/targets/mediatek/mt7622/openwrt-22.03.7-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin to /tmp and then run the following command to flash it:

for bl2start in 0x0 0x20000 0x40000 0x60000 ; do
	mtd -p ${bl2start} write /tmp/openwrt-22.03.7-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin /dev/mtd0
	sync
done

5. Copy BL31 FIP from 23.05.4 https://archive.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.4/targets/mediatek/mt7622/openwrt-23.05.4-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip to /tmp and then run the following command to flash it:

mtd write /tmp/openwrt-23.05.4-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip /dev/mtd1

6. Copy your CORRECT mtd2 (factory) to /tmp and flash it to mtd2. THIS STEP IS CRITICAL to get back to working FACTORY data.

mtd write /tmp/factory.bin /dev/mtd2

7. Sysupgrade v1.1.3 installer.itb .

8. If after above step the device booted into the MAIN SNAPSHOT initramfs-recovery, then FIP-in-UBI setup is successful and you can proceed with sysupgrade of normal OpenWrt MAIN SNAPSHOT image.

Net:
Error: ethernet@1b100000 address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff illegal value
eth0: ethernet@1b100000
Error: ethernet@1b100000 address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff illegal value

This suggest your ubootenv volume's ethaddr variable is storing ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. Something have happened to your router where it tries to rebuild your ubootenv volume data with invalid factory information. You probably have to rebuild your ubootenv and ubootenv2 when booted into openwrt 23.05.4 build.

Anyone knows how to do this?

Edit: Oh it looks like this can be reset via U-boot itself (Option a.) You may want to try it?

Also, it looks to me your router is still storing your factory data in MTD partitions, which is why you said running 23.05.4 is OK? Running snapshots builds (with kernel 6.6.x) will not work for you, as it expects factory to be in UBI volumes now.

[fda]

@ka2107:

Thanks!!! snapshot recovery is running with network and correct mac! And my self build image works.

Also your steps recreated ubi (see log), there are now 7 instead 5 partitions + renamings, boot_backup exists. MTDs are now only 2 instead 3.

Full log of the steps of you post (linebreaks because of serial)

Thanks again!

@quarky:
Thanks, i dont know which way to fix is better, by ka2107's helped

Instead the Net-Error messages, this is with correct env now:

Read 126976 bytes from volume ubootenv to 000000005f7bf0c0
Read 126976 bytes from volume ubootenv2 to 000000005f7de100

[quarky]

I see from your latest boot log that you have transitioned to factory in UBI volume structure now as you are running TF-A v2.10.

But it looks like your ubootenv/ubootenv2? volumes are still not storing the correct ethernet MAC address. Minor annoyance in this case as you will need to configure your ethernet port's MAC address in u-boot before you can perform TFTP recovery.

Probably easiest now is to fix u-boot's variable via SSH when booted into OpenWrt.

You should still see ethaddr=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff if you run fw_printenv when you SSH into OpenWrt.

Just set it to your router's assigned MAC address and you should be good I think.

[fda]

You are right, there is still something wrong

[quarky]

Wow, this looks nothing like the ubootenv information that should be stored. It looks like it is from factory.

[fda]

The "Warning - bad CRC, using default environment" exists 2 times in my last big log

Can you paste your fw_printenv output? Is "bootcmd" still "boot_ubi" ?

[quarky]

I suggest maybe you boot into u-boot with your serial console, and reset u-boot environment to factory default (i.e. Option a. shown below). It should re-create ubootenv and fix the CRC error as well if I'm not wrong.

Well, as i can not destroy any more i just tied it: env is fixed

fw_printenv are now 51 lines, with correct "ethaddr", bootcmd and a lot items from uboot menu. Thanks!

But was it expected that this also resets openwrt settings?

[quarky]

Your ubootenv settings looks OK to me now.

Resetting to factory default via u-boot should leave OpenWrt configurations alone, i.e. untouched. It should not have touched your rootfs_data volume.

[fda]

Openwrt was resetted!
Funny thing: i've again reverted the env to default by importing openwrt settings backup

The file /etc/fw_env.config is the problem, in my backup are ubi0_0+ubi0_1, and after factory reset /dev/ubi0_2+/dev/ubi0_3
